If she wears the top and skirt from Metroid (NES) like she did with the code....now that's a tough choise.
anyhow today I read on a dutch nintendo fan site that there is nothing certain for the movie. the production company where John Woo work has got the rights to neogotiate with nintendo about the rights for a metroid movie...I hope it still makes sence...cause I don't really get it.

Um, a lot of people got excited about this on my own games site, but when we had a closer look at this it wasn't such big news.
John Woo has OPTIONED this rather than actually said he's going to do it. Like Adol said, this doesn't mean he's actually doing anything, it just means that he has "first dibs" to make this if it ever happens, they can't go to someone else first.
While a lot of optioned films get made, most options never happen and were just taken out just in case they ever choose to take up the project. Normally all it means is the copyright holders get some sort of fee (maybe a few hundred thousand if they're famous) and agree to talk to them first before anyone else about a film.
I think Steven Spielberg optioned 3001 from Arthur C. Clarke ages ago when the book came out but it's only now that anyone is talking about a film actually being made.
On a more direct parallel, Tomb Raider was optioned for many years before the films actually got made and I think it went from one company to another.
